 4.0 Project: Construction of Shops units

Location: Omotola Plaza, Agege, Lagos State

Consultant:

Project Cost: 25Million

Position: Civil Engineer

Introduction:

The project comprises of commercial shop units.

Responsibility:

Design: preliminary design and final working design drawings, preparation of bill of

engineering measurement and supervision of the project.

Design task and solution offered:

a) Estimation of tank capacities: surface ground tank and elevated tanks were proposed. With the

idea of number of fittings and the capacity of water it can hold and daily water demand in an

office building, the tank capacities were estimated.

b) To ensure continuous water supply, drilling of borehole and connection to water board mains

was adopted.

c) Water distribution to the sanitary units in various blocks and stand taps was achieved by gravity

distribution method via stanchion height of 6m.

d) Estimation of pump capacity: water booster pump capacity was computed.

e) Drainage system: soil and waste drainage from various sanitary units was accomplished

through gravity drainage system discharging into septic tank and soak away pits systems.

f) Air conditioning: in line with design brief and the nature of the building, split unit air

conditioning system were adopted after the cooling load were analyzed and computed.
Engineering problems encountered:

While test running the water system after installation, I noticed the following problems:

 Dripping faucets,

 Running toilets, waste water up to 200 gallons per day.

Steps taken to solved the challenges are:

 Turned off the main water line

 The flapper valve controlling water passes from the toilets tank to its bowl is faulty, and it was

replaced

Experience gained:

a) Material selection for specific installation

b) Sizing of pressurized pump

c) Construction of septic tank and soak away pit

Client:

Contractor:

Project Cost: #70 Million

Position held: Project Engineer
Period: 10 months

5.1.3) PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The site is situated at Pinnock Beach, Ajah, Nigeria. The project is a residential complex
owned by an individual. This project spanned for a period of 10months. The site was
characterized with a stable soil at 1m trench excavation, there was an existing building
which had to be demolished for this new building. The soil bearing capacity is 150kn/m2.
Courtesy of this, strip foundation with pad column footing was constructed

Depth of strip of 1m and 150mm thick first floor slab. The built of area is about 321m2.

5.1.4) : SCOPE OF THE WORK:

The scope of this work is construction of the building substructure to finishing.

5.1.5) MY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS PROJECT:

1. Preparation of the structural design and detailing of this project

 Interpretation of drawings on site for the workers; Structural and Architectural plans.
 Supervising all site activities making sure each construction stage is completed as scheduled and
according to drawing specification.
 Determination of levels on site with level instrument.
 Setting out of partition wall blocks after oversite concrete have been cast
 Confirmation of smooth plastering of wall.
 Instructing masons on mix ratio for both casting and mortar according to structural details.
 Confirmation of alignment of carpenter’s form work.
10
2. Participated in the evaluation of material quantities.
 Calculation of number of blocks, reinforcement and wood for formwork to be supplied to site at
different milestones of the project.

3. Site accounts officer/Paying of workers’ wages.

 Counting numbers laid blocks to determine the mason’s wage

 Calculation of square area of carpenter’s form work to determine carpenter’s wage
 Recording of site wages for both daily paid laborers and sub-contractors
 Paying site wages to site workers

4) Conflict resolution between site workers

 Ensuring site health and safety rules are strictly being adhered to by workers.

5.1.6) CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED AND SOLUTION:

 Non provision of PPE. The site workers had to provide their own PPE.
 Conflict always arose between site workers. To halt this, we dismissed anyone who attempted
to physically assault another.
 Irregular payment of wages which lead to industrial action several by casual workers and this greatly
slowed down the process.
 Theft case was recorded on site from site workers this led to distrust among team members
especially the casual workers, Hence, a strict site security was implemented, a book that enables
workers to sign in and out was provided to keep track.

5.1.7) EXPERIENCE GAINED

 I learnt how to pay attention to details

 I learnt various design approach to structures
 I learnt how to mediate and communicate with site workers
 I learnt he basic knowledge of price negotiation with workers
 I learnt the importance of safety compliance in and out site
 I learnt how stakeholders can influence projects
